One of my very favorite things in life is that very first sip, first thing in the morning, of an excellent cup of coffee. Mmmm. Mmm!
It was an unusually busy weekend, but I not only survived, I thrived. Among other things, I:
- worked six hours at the second annual Glacial Lake Missoula Discovery Day at the Montana Natural History Center. Our seven presenters, numerous volunteers and a small crowd of attendees learned a lot from each other. Did you know that an earthquake fault along the eastern shore of Flathead Lake is due for a third quake in the 7.0 range anytime now?
- put in 2.5 hours answering phones for Montana Public Radio Week. In last night's Pet Wars finale, dogs beat cats by only nine points. I demand a recount!
- hung out with my friend Gay, who was in town for a workshop, and her friend Colleen, who came along for the ride.
- enjoyed meals at the Mustard Seed and Finn and Porter (amazing calamari!) and tried out the new Cold Stone Creamery, which has incredible ice cream.
- hired UM students to detail and wax my car and to clean out my flowerbeds. I am learning to delegate and it feels good.
- worked on the UM Style Guide revision.

Congrats on getting a Cold Stone Creamery in Mo-town. We have a few here in Portland and they are so yummy!
Neva, you'd be amazed at all the new construction. We also had an IHOP just open (who cares?) and a Walgreens about to open. All on Reserve, of course. Rumors have it Starbucks is trying to get into downtown. (They already have a spot on Reserve at Grant Creek.)
Mmmmmmm...right on, Patia -- that first sip from the cup in the morning...it almost - ALMOST - makes getting up so damn early worthwhile!
ps - my 20 y/o was in Missoula last Thu-Sat for a UoM "Model UN" thingie...she is absolutely IN LOVE with your town!
I got to eat at the Mustard Seed last Thursday. I'd forgotten how absolutely delicious Shrimp Osaka is. Yum.
Dave, is your daughter thinking about coming to school here?
Wulfgar, yeah! Shrimp Osaka is the best.

I WAS BORN AND RAISED HERE IN MISSOULA, I DO NOT LIKE ALL OF THE NEW BUSINESS COMING TO TOWN. I ALSO DO NOT LIKE ALL OF THE WASHINGTON AND CALIFORNIA PEOPLE MOVING HERE. THIS IS THE LAST BEST PLACE TO LIVE, AND IT IS TURNING BAD. THE HOUSING PRICES ARE INCREDIBLE. I AM SURE THAT MOST OF THOSE NEW HOUSES ARE BEING BOUGHT BY OUT OF STATERS!!
